Zoomback for “Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint”

April 27 @ 7:00 pm

RegisterApril 27 – Join us for a virtual talkback about the film “Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint” with Dairy Arts Associate Curator of Visual Arts, Drew Austin.

Hilma af Klint was an abstract artist before the term existed, a visionary, trailblazing figure who, inspired by spiritualism, modern science, and the riches of the natural world around her, began in 1906 to reel out a series of huge, colorful, sensual, strange works without precedent in painting. The subject of a recent smash retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum (with over 600,000 attendees), af Klint was for years an all-but-forgotten figure in art historical discourse, before her long-delayed rediscovery. Director Halina Dryschka’s dazzling, course-correcting documentary describes not only the life and craft of af Klint, but also the process of her mischaracterization and erasure by both a patriarchal narrative of artistic progress and capitalistic determination of artistic value.
